Just answer fair that one question: whom would you save: your child or a crocodile? why would you kill a crocodile or a snake or a wolf?
I was responding to your assertion that Humans are superior, nothing else. What you mention above, has nothing to do with superiority. I would say it would be a natural instinct for a mother to save her child from a predator. If you are trying to connect this to a woman who has just conceived then I would say it is a different situation because there ra e different views on when life starts.
Personally, I could not contemplate an abortion . However I realise that my emotion may change depending on the circumstances of the conception or health/pregnancy. What we aspire to and what may actually happen may be quite different once the hypothesis becomes a reality.
Whether someone is for abortion or against it, they should be able to agree that it is a personal issue and not something that should be in the control of a government. I don´t think it would be helpful to drive abortion underground.
Also, I don´t think one side should judge the other.

I think that government should be involved in things like this. We are not talking about just your body weight or body shape,
It is very superficial of you to think that the only reason for a woman to have an abortion done is their weight or bodyshape. These days there are enough facilities for women to get the right sports programme to get back at their ´original´ weight.
Nobody says that you are not allowed to think the way you think. But by wanting the government to involve in issues like this, you impose your view on people who don´t agree with you. It should be a free choice for anyone. The teenage girl who accidentally gets pregnant should have the right to keep that child, just as much as the teenage girl who got raped should have the right to get cells removed, if she is too late to get a morning-after-pill.

I strongly believe we humans are superior to other living things! Show me any animal or germ that composes fine music and arts, invents and creates!
Superior? Yes, no mere animal has been so creative to invent such effective methods to cause the destruction on the planet as humans. Humans have the ability to change the whole world, manipulate the univese, and they do.
Humans have choices, and it´s sad that so many really destructive ones have been made....then I wonder how the cats feel about cat gut being used to play music? Do you think the trees and fish enjoy our wonderful symphonies? Do you understand the dolphine song?...or for that matter the sparrow´s song? I would prefer to listen to a whale sing than any symphony.
In our short time on this earth, what a mess we have made.
Choice is one of the defining characteristics of being human. Given that, to take choice away from women is to dehumanize them....so what do you think of that, oh lover of humans?

You once were that sperm-egg! Or is there other way you come to this world?
In any case it is not the fault of a little life.
Yes I was. And I got lucky that my parents were in the position to raise a child, and that my mother didnt have any physical complications that could have made my birth her death.
On the other hand. Had it been so, I would have had no idea. Because at that time I wasnt ´superior´ yet: I had no idea I existed, nor did I have the ability to compose music.

Yes, very true, I cannot stand an image of a tiny dismembered body by someone who cared more for their own shape of body. We indeed differ.
You are making assumptions about people´s reasons for terminating a pregnancy.

Mark your calendars ladies, gentlemen, zygots and bacteria...........GG is in absolute agreement with alameda!!! {#lang_emotions_flowers}
Add me too!!!
I agree with alameda too on this topic.
And for the others who happened to think that imposing religious teachings at public schools is not a bad thing or "a little prayer never hurt anyone", I bet you would support all teachings of religions at schools including sheria by taliban or wahabist in faith schools!!(What happened to the secularism?)
Apart from that I must admit i am in a little shock here about ´how conservative you are´ about this abortion issue..
The body is your body. you must be the only person to decide what to do with it.. How can you support your ´goverments imposing religion based theories and laws on people´s lives´ (such as pro-life etc) and at the same time you can oppose taliban imposing religious rules on people´s life?

I also agree with thehandsom when it comes to religious education. Although I think that a multiple-religious education wouldnt be a bad idea either. Each teenager could be taught the basic beliefs of the worlds major faiths, the basic religious practices and the backgrounds behind these etc.
